Don't be down put! I'm sure more people will get involved as time goes on!

[lirpachan]

Thanks :). I guess I'm just a little nervous since it's the community's first official week XD.

Yeah, I can relate.

As for writers block? I usually find I'm not relating well to one of the characters in the scene and because of that I don't know how to write them. Sometimes I'll write something from that characters point of view or even re-write the scene I'm struggling with from their thoughts.

Write a whole different story from that character's POV? That's not a bad idea. You're likely to feel more loosened up writing them afterwards for the original fic, I imagine :). Maybe I'll have to try that with Sasuke... For some reason, even though he's one of my favorite characters (despite my annoyance with him right now) I've always had a hard time getting into his head, and thus a hard time portraying certain scenes or ideas accurately. Perhaps I should try writing a stream of conscious drabble from his POV and then write the scene. I bet it would go a lot smoother :).

Fight on! I remember well the pains of midterms and finals. You most certainly can submit an assignment late, it just doesn't guarantee a critique (but this particular one will prove most beneficial to get done since it's going to tie into next week's assignment). Check the community's user profile for proper posting of a late assignment. Good luck with your tests!

Haha, true, but I have a feeling since this is such a short assignment that people will look over all the one's posted and give some feedback. Can't hurt to at least get it done, right? :)

Mine will be late ;.; But hopefully not *too* late...

[lirpachan]

It's okay if assignments are late, they just don't garuntee a critique. Since this is such a short assignment though it's likely to get some sort of feedback whether or was assigned to be looked over or not :).
